Computers

Free and Open Source Software

No non-free, proprietary or closed source program runs on my machines. Except
the ones we cannot get rid off on Android. I am currently looking for a more
FOSS friendly smartphone. Current Candidate is Purism Librem5.

Privacy and freedom

In order to protect and have controle over my privacy and freedom, I do not use
non-free and centralised networks and services. Instead, I use mostly
self-hosted and decentralised or distributed networks, like NextCloud
to store and sync my files, XMPP for instant messaging
and Mastodon as my primary social netowrk/micro-blogging
platform.

I refuse to trade my freedom and privacy for said convinence. I do find it more
convinent to run my own services or use ones of someone I personally trust.

Runing my own service allows me to enforce better security standards than most
providers.
